Not related to anything medical!

I feel dogcrap as do quite a few of my mates and a lot of people at work. Is it just because of the sudden cold weather? Blocked/runny nose, cough, going hot and cold and slight headache is not fun. I also cant be bothered to do anything

It best be gone by xmas and new year

I've vowed to never moan about "flu" like symptoms, as last year I got it so bad that I soon realised any other time has been mild.

I was coughing so hard that I'd projectile vomit anything I'd eaten previously.

Stiff joints and muscles, no energy, constant headache, and I lost over a stone in weight within a week due to being unable to eat.

Any time since then that I've got something similar, I'm happy it's not as bad as last year.

I got something similar when i was in thailand last year minus the projectile vomiting. All i ate for over a week was rice and banana, anything else i couldnt eat even though i wanted to. I tried to eat a bit of pizza and it was like chewing a rock. I was constantly tired, headache and one minute freezing the next boiling. I went to a pharmacy and was given something that seemed to slowly make me better.

I ended up losing about a stone too. When i did eat again it tasted like the best thing ever
